Two day of wet weather and the need to replace my walking shoes had me in Hobart for a couple of days. It was great to stay with our son and to catch up with our two daughters for lunch. Requipped I was picked up by a bushwalking mate (Peter) and we headed off to New Norfolk for an easy walk to Lachlan and then I would continue on up Jeffrey’s Track to a spot I had arranged to stay just off the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pete suggested we drive up and drop my pack there – great idea! That done, it was a Banjo’s stop for coffee and buying lunch. We wandered through a New Norfolk park spotting a Platypus enjoying the water running down into a creek. Then onto the Lachlan road. It was an easy and enjoyable walk with lots of good conversation. Not long before Lachlan was around the corner. We were looking for a spot for lunch and wondered if there was a bus stop or somewhere we could get out of the occasional light showers we had experienced most of the morning. Lachlan delivered with a great picnic area, shelters, tables and toilets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter headed back to New Norfolk after lunch and I put on another 6 or so kms up to my pack and and early set up for the evening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was interested in the number of very muddy 4wds coming down the track – at least 10. It was a public holiday, so I guess people were out for a day trip. I did wonder what it boded for the next day. I wa about to find out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
